Literary fiction develops empathy and sense of morality. It's sad to see so many people completely neglecting literary fiction as being not useful or less advantageous than technical or other non-fictional literature. I always regarded technical literature as vitamins for the mind, while fiction (as well as other art) is vitamins for the soul.
